Recovery mechanism of large-scale damaged edge computing network in industrial Internet of things by Hui TIAN, Hao WU, Yang TIAN, Jianyang REN, Yajuan CUI, Wenbao AI, Jianhua YUAN

“…Given the limited resources at early stages for recovery, a failure recovery mechanism of the edge computing network considering both computational demands and repair costs was proposed, which intends to tackle the problem of the high probability of large-scale cascading failure caused by the interdependence between the edge computing network and other subnetworks in industrial Internet of things (IIoT).Considering the network structure (topology and link capacity) and network dynamics (computational demands), a joint link recovery selection and computation migration optimization problem was formulated under the conservation of node computing requirements.By leveraging the Benders decomposition algorithm, the NP-hard problem was transformed into a main problem and a sub-problem, which were interdependent and could be solved in polynomial time through the approximation of cutting planes.A local branching method was further introduced to guarantee the non-increasing nature of the Benders upper bound, thus accelerating the convergence of Benders decomposition.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional topology-based recovery algorithm in system utility, and can perform well in multiple scenarios.…”

Sharing talk, sharing cognition: philosophy with children as the basis for productive classroom interaction by Laura Kerslake, Sarah Rimmington

“…Taking the linguistic turn requires an examination of the relationship between thought and language: starting with Wittgenstein, we draw out the implications of expressing thought in a jointlyconstructed system of meaning. We then examine the relationship between thought and language in a pedagogical context by drawing on the practice of philosophy with children in the classroom, identifying key skills which are important in the development of meaningful classroom interaction, connecting this to philosophy with children practice. …”

Multi-function supported privacy protection data aggregation scheme for V2G network by Baiji HU, Xiaojuan ZHANG, Yuancheng LI, Rongxin LAI

“…In view of the problem that the functions of the current privacy protection data aggregation scheme were insufficient to meet the increasingly rich application requirements, a multi-function supported privacy protection data aggregation (MFPDA) scheme for V2G network was proposed.By using cryptographic algorithms such as BGN, BLS, and Shamir’s secret sharing, as well as fog computing and consortium blockchain technology, multiple security functions like fault tolerance, resistance to internal attacks, batch signature verification, no need for trusted third parties, and multiple aggregation functions were integrated into one privacy protection data aggregation scheme.Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme can protect data aggregation’s security, privacy and reliability.The performance evaluation shows that the introduction of fog computing can significantly reduce the computing overhead of the control center, and the reduction rate can be as high as 66.6%; the improvement of the consortium blockchain can effectively reduce the communication and storage overhead of the system, and the reduction rate can reach 16.7% and 24.9% respectively.…”

Certificateless ciphertext retrieval scheme with multi-user and multi-keyword based on cloud-edge collaboration by Xiaodong YANG, Tian TIAN, Jiaqi WANG, Meijuan LI, Caifen WANG

“…To solve the problems of single-user search, single-keyword search, high computational cost and low-security level of ciphertext data retrieval in the industrial Internet of things environment, a certificateless ciphertext retrieval scheme with multi-user and multi-keyword based on cloud-edge collaboration was proposed.A user access permissions table was set and once encryption algorithm was executed to realize multi-user search and update users’ access permissions.A cloud-side collaborative computing model was introduced to match keyword ciphertext and keyword trapdoor efficiently by a linear scanning method when the keyword ciphertext does not entirely contain the search keyword.Key escrow and certificate management problems were solved by utilizing certificateless encryption system.Keyword ciphertext authentication was ensured by using digital signature technology.The security analysis results show that the proposed scheme can resist internal keyword guessing attacks under the random oracle model.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has higher computational efficiency compared with similar schemes.…”
